6. REMOVE DRIVE PINION CAP
(a) Remove the bolt.
(b) Using pliers, pull out the drive pinion cap.
(c) Remove the O-rings from the cap.
7. MEASURE DRIVE PINION PRELOAD
Using a torque meter, measure the drive pinion preload.
Preload (at starting): Reused bearing
5 - 8 kg-cm (4.3 - 6.9 in.-lb, 0.5 - 0.8 N-m)
The total preload measured in step 1 minus the drive
pinion preload equals 1.3 - 2.0 kg-cm (1.1 - 1.7 in.-lb,
0.1 - 0.2 N-m). If the result is not within this specifica-
tion, the side bearing preload is bad.
